The Boys & Girl from County Clare Ratings & Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Makes music almost an afterthought, and as such it never truly sings.
Film Journal International
Kevin Lally
This tale of longstanding sibling rivalry set against a Ceili music competition doesn't score any points for originality, but it's a likeable enough 90-minute outing, especially for Eirephiles.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Jeffrey Westhoff
Pushes the least interesting relationships to the front and shoves the most interesting ones too the back.
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
Really just a long fiddle session in a very familiar pub.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
While there's lots of great Ceili music on tap, it's wrapped in a story so traditional that it's not especially interesting.
New York Times
Anita Gates
Everyone is likable in John Irvin's appealing if obvious little fable about two estranged brothers and their ceili, or traditional Irish, bands.
New York Post
Russell Scott Smith
Isn't a total loss, but neither does it have the charm of The Full Monty or other feel-good indie Brit flicks it emulates.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
As thin and frothy as the head on a pint of Guinness.
E! Online
This sweet but lightweight Irish ditty hits the expected notes and proves pleasing enough, mostly due to its appealing performers.
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
The charm of "The Boys and Girl from Country Clare" might be compared to the charm of Ceili music: infectious in its beat, but after a while it all sounds the same.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Lots of lively tunes and spirited acting.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
The music compensates for the movie's broad high jinks and soapy romantic contrivances, handled with slick, cold hands by director John Irvin.
Chicago Tribune
Sid Smith
An irresistible Irish comedy, lovingly told, beautifully acted and graced with the perfect balance of chuckles and bittersweet heartache.
Village Voice
Akiva Gottlieb
John Irvin's Miramaxy paean to Irish Ceili music gets by on infectious geniality.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Delightful as a round of Ceili.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A delightful drama about some feisty souls involved in an Irish musical competition and their close encounters with the difficult spiritual art of letting go.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
'County Clare' is a real treat!
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
Audiences will be hard-pressed to find a more satisfying or enjoyable entertainment than this splendid Celtic feast for the eyes and the ears.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Agreeably soapy, but if you're not a Ceili fan, you're likely to doze off by the end of the first reel.
